A crime is a crime. It doesn't matter who does it.

If they can buy themselves out, yes. That is the dirty thing about it we can't do anything about unless we stand together.
Of course, they are too busy paying the politicians to divide us along "party lines".

Does that mean if I commit ten thousand crimes all at once, I would be immune from prosecution because there are too many to charge me with? I would be given exemption from the legal system because it is easier?
Right. So that means I just need to commit enough crimes that I break the upper limit and I would be home free.

You can't commit more crimes than a group of people who have committed multiple crimes - when the group gets charged the number of crimes indicted snowballs.
